Pop Artist Carrie Lane Responds To Tragic Events With a New Anti-Bullying Song and Campaign

NEW YORK - Jan. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Don’t Stand By Stand Up was cowritten by Carrie Lane and Ron Geffen in response to  recent and devastating suicides in the news.  Carrie has always wanted to write a song about a cause that she really cares deeply about. The video was shot, edited, and directed by Carrie Lane and Alison Drew. The vision for the video concept came from asking teens to pick a name they had been called or stereotyped as by their peers. We asked everyone to wear their label physically by putting it on a shirt and then asked them to tear it up in order to symbolically and literally get rid of something that has been classifying them and putting them in a box for so long.

Don’t Stand By Stand Up encourages kids to speak out whether they are a victim of bullying or a bystander in a situation involving bullying. It is often something that children battle with internally and it needs to be stated that there is nothing to be ashamed and the silence needs to be broken.  The video is powerful and meant to invoke emotion, conversation and action.
